Morning,
I'm planning chimney maintenance work in July. Its a stone chimney, cement rendered above the roofline with wood burner and stainless lined flue installed 8/9 years ago. There is no ventilation of the space in the chimney around the liner. Is there any reason why I shouldn't put a...
My current set up (images attached). I can heat my hot water tank (oldWood Fire.jpg) using the coal/wood fire , however how would I be able to use the fire to heat my radiators (7). I have recently moved into the house and I just cant see how its done. What would I need to buy to enable this...
Hi
We moved in to a new house (a 200 year old cottage) 2 months ago and had the boiler serviced just 2 weeks ago.
The guy said that the boiler has had some good money spent on it in the past and that it should be working perfectly.
However I noticed over the past few days that the water...
Need to repair an oil line that’s underground (digger/ old oil line that’s being disused) now I know it’s not the best but what’s the best practice eg flared and denso
Evening All,
I have a customer who wants a modern oil boiler fitting to replace his ancient one. The big problem is he's divided his house into two with a holiday cottage next door. I'm not sure but surely that's against Building Regs and he needs two boilers?. Can anyone advise me?
Thanks,
Jock
Hi everyone. I have a Eurostar 90 that Ive maintaned for 10 years and I think a lot older. I serviced it few months ago. All was good. Then about 4 weeks ago it locked out so cleaned filter at tank and filter in pump. (pump filter was clean). It randomly locked out sometimes hour sometimes a...
I have here a Trianco TRO 15/19 boiler and on inspection it has no baffle plates, just the flimsy flue baffle box. Without any plates the flue temperature is off the scale!
Did Trianco make the boiler (I think it must be a Mk.1 TRO 15/90) without baffle plates?

Hi, I am trying to service a Trianco Eurostar 70/90 oil boiler but I just can not get the bayonet fitting blast tube to turn and release to gain access to the nozzle and electrodes. I have tried using Penetrating oil and a oil filter wrench to turn it, I have tried some heat and some tapping but...
I'm looking for some advice on a frustrating problem I'm having with my old Eurostar 50-60s oil boiler please? Although it's old, most parts needed to operate it are now new.
The symptoms indicated a broken/seized burner motor or oil pump. I wrongly assumed the motor so I ordered a new one only...
Here is a classic example of why oil tanks should be installed correctly, with adequate spill and fire protection. This is what my sisters house mate managed to do to their shed yesterday. In the their garden is also a large double bunded plastic oil tank. Fortunately the tank was installed to...
Client ran out of oil. Locked out. Has Grant eco ext. wall boiler 1.3 mtrs off ground. Tiger loop on wall same height as burner. Tank 4mtrs away on ground. 10mm copper suction line.
I went round. It never restarted via reset button so bled a bit from pump and Ok. Pump was a bit winey and...
My ageing tiger loop could do with replacing. All I can find online have horizontal connections whereas mine has the connections vertically the pipes coming in from below. I was hoping I could get a straight swap unit. Will i need to alter my pipework as well then?
We have recently moved into a propery which has this Tiffel oil boiler installed.
The boiler kicks in when I have the setting on water only.
the screen shows 14 degrees
It may need the boiler programming or maybe another issue.
can’t find any instructions on line in English.
so any advise would...
Hi Folks
Does anyone have info on the seals for the inspection hatches in this boiler. It badly needs servicing and looks to have been sealed with fire cement in the past. Are these rope seals (and what size) or bespoke seals.
Wholesaler can't source them but loathed to open it up without...
Sorry for a long post but we have a complicated thermal store situation
Over the summer we had a new solid fuel stovax back boiler installed and upgraded our hot water storage tank to a thermal store.
We have not had reliable hot water since. Initially we only used the emersion and after...
The boiler (480k, serviced every year) will not turn off at the end of the 3rd timed cycle each day, even though the green 'on' light is out. This happens when set to 'heat and hot water'. Switching to 'hot water' only, turns it off. Engineer called three times and has replaced the control...
When putting our CH and HW on, it’s sometimes a lottery as to whether the central heating will come on. The HW works every time with no problems. Furthermore, when the CH does come on, sometimes only half of the radiators in the house come on - when this happens, we switch CH/HW off and switch...
Relatively new to servicing, but have come across a Riello RDB unit that will not disengage from the unit.
I have unbolted the securing nut but the burner will not budge. the boiler is a Warmflow unit quite a few years old and from the look of it and the oil hose I have replaced, not been...
Very strong varnish/gloss smell from behind oil fired boiler.
Was strong kerosene smell for a week, last 7 days strong gloss/varnish smell.
Needs sorting asap.
Thanks

Hi all I have a Stanley superstar 60k oil and last year it developed an issue with the electrodes starting intermittently . One minute they would spark and be fine for few days and then no spark again. So engineer out and new control box and new electrodes and it was fine until the last few...
